Workplace Disputes

Regardless of your industry, workplace disputes are an increasingly common issue for employers and employees to face. Consideration to how each dispute is handled can be the difference to whether the matter resolves amicably and peacefully or whether the business finds itself involved in costly and protracted litigation. Receiving prompt, strategic and commercial legal advice can make a significant difference in the resolution of workplace disputes.

It is more and more apparent in this day and age that the law seems to favour the employee rather than the employer. To this end, disgruntled employees and former employees have a variety of tools available to ensure they continue to consume your time, resources and money, even after they have left your employ. Dependant upon the decisions you make and the processes you follow regarding workplace disputes, you may find yourself confronted with a:

Breach of contract claim;

Unfair dismissal claim;

A general protections claim;

Unlawful discrimination; or a

Bullying and harassment claim

For the past several years Luke and Alex have been guiding me through a minefield of horribly complicated estate and personal issues. Despite this they have always quoted me a very reasonable fixed price for each solution and just quietly they happily worked more hours than they quoted that is for sure (or stayed up late because I needed it). I am very grateful for their wonderful support and sound advice over a difficult period of my life. I recommend for anyone who needs peace from these kinds of issue to get in touch, have a chat, and breathe a sigh of relief.
